AB  - BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality in 
      Peruvian population. Metabolic syndrome contributes to this problem. This study 
      aims to determine the prevalence metabolic syndrome (MS) in Peruvian adults. 
      METHODS: 4053 representative Peruvian adults were evaluated, 2037 women and 2016 
      men older than 20 years old. Data from socioeconomically issues, clinical and 
      laboratory exam were registered. Blood samples for biochemical analysis were 
      taken from fasted subjects. The economical conditions of subjects were 
      characterized by the unmet basic needs (UBN) method. Worldwide definition from 
      the International diabetes federation (IDF) was considered to determine MS. 
      RESULTS: The components of the MS on evaluated population was: 65.6% of abdominal 
      obesity, 54.2% of decreased C-HDL, 30% of elevated triglycerides, 19.1% of 
      arterial hypertension and 8% of hyperglycemias. Women show higher prevalence of 
      abdominal obesity (81%, IC95%:77.6 - 85.3) compared with men (48.5%, IC95%: 44.5 
      - 52.5). The prevalence of MS was 25.8%, being 34.3% in women which is higher (p 
      <0.05) than 16.6% in men. CONCLUSION: Abdominal obesity was more prevalent on 
      Peruvian population. The risk of MS on Peruvian population increases gradually 
      with age and decreases while poverty is accentuated.
